GENBAND has strengthened its family of Network Transformation solutions with the acquisition of Aztek Networks, a supplier of switch consolidation and network migration solutions.
The line access technology acquired from Aztek further enhances GENBAND’s market-leading Network Transformation offering by enabling operators to eliminate legacy TDM sites, consolidate and modernize their core network and realize significant savings in capital and operating expenses.
By acquiring Aztek Networks, GENBAND gains the Aztek 5000-series, which will be supported and marketed under the GENBAND G5 platform brand. The G5 Line Access Gateway, formerly the Aztek 5000LF, plays an important role in GENBAND’s Network Transformation offering, providing a cost-effective solution for service providers looking to replace legacy line access equipment as they modernize their TDM core networks to IP.
As TDM networks reach the end of their design life, operators are faced with the challenge of affordably supporting and transitioning legacy infrastructure to IP infrastructure without disrupting services to their end customers.
By closing the acquisition of Aztek Networks, GENBAND enhances its TDM to IP Network Transformation capabilities particularly in the ‘last mile’ of the network.
